White people get told they aren’t welcome in a restaurant and it’s a national boycott. Imagine for a moment if our privilege allows you to, that you’re stopped in traffic for nothing, they arrest you, find a way to hit you, put you in jail, then kill you. #SandraBland
Or you’re a white person calling the cops for selling water on the corner causes this uproar, but imagine if you’re playing in a park with a toy gun, you’re a tiny 12 year old boy, cops come and they shoot you inside 2 seconds and you die. #TamirRice
I could go on for days. Imagine you are simply walking along the side walk after a “report” that you stole from a store and cops roll up and immediately find you so dangerous, you’ve got 40 seconds to live. #KajiemePowell
Imagine your white friend or White son is in the middle of a parking lot simply standing unarmed and frightened and 20 cops fire a 100 shots into him simultaneously. #MiltonHall
Privileged white people raging and raging over being shouted out for being racists and it’s a national story while #KendrickJohnson is killed at his school in Georgia and the cops tell you a healthy athletic teenager couldn’t get out of a rolled up gym mat at died. Crickets.
Hundreds of black and brown people running from white power simply for living. #EricGarner #MichaelScott killed while whites rage, calling the cops over nothing.

And they can’t even see the double standards.

Now it’s concentration camps. America is evil. America is lost.
“He was selling loosies” “He took the red tip off his toy gun” “He had a plastic butter knife” “She didn’t use her signal light” “Skittles” “He shouldn’t have run” “He had drugs in his system”

It doesn’t matter how horrific the excuse. It’s always white guy good; Black guy bad.
Now we’re having a national discussion of whether separating children from their parents or putting up concentration camps is acceptable and still they don’t see the evil racism?

And you’re the Christians you figure?

There’s only one way this thread can end...FUCK YOU RACISTS!
“He shouldn’t have run”. “He shouldn’t have stayed”. “He was too close”. “He wasn’t far enough away”. “He didn’t put his hands up fast enough”. “He made a sudden movement”. “He shouldn’t have talked back”. “He should have explained himself”.

Always an excuse for white devils.

Always an excuse for white devils. Always.
